In this paper a Susceptible-Infected (SI) epidemic model is proposed to assess the propagation of voltage sags in distribution systems. In the SI model, the infectious nodes are the bus-bars where faults or connection of big loads could occur. On the other hand, susceptible nodes are the bus-bars in which voltage sags could occur. Parameters that affect the voltage sags propagation as system topology and detection threshold are modeled using the concept of infection rate (β). + A directed graph representing the voltage sags propagation is calculated based on the values of β between every pair of nodes. Finally, the propagation is characterized in terms of fault impedance and nodes are classified using graph theory indexes.","PeriodicalId":256426,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE Workshop on Power Electronics and Power Quality Applications (PEPQA)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121550270","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The approach is intended to be applied based on information collected by a fault recorder module at the electrical substation. With big data analysis techniques, the proposed methodology allows users to extract information and analyze two proposed indicators to alert the utility operator about critical conditions of harmonic content.

The work is mainly focused in balancing the voltages in the DC bus capacitors by adding an offset level to the modulation signal which ensures the good performance of the NPC inverter.
